Tilly Herbert\u2011Smith is an Associate Consultant in the London private practice recruitment team at Taylor Root, specialising in offshore and international associate\u2011level appointments. Her core focus is on advising law firms and associates within offshore jurisdictions, supporting permanent placements across leading offshore legal markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her role, Tilly works closely with associates exploring offshore moves, providing guidance on market dynamics, firm structures and long\u2011term career implications of relocating offshore. Her work is informed by a detailed understanding of how offshore practices operate and how these roles fit within broader international private practice career paths. This offshore specialism sits at the centre of her client practice and is a key part of Taylor Root\u2019s international offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside her offshore focus, Tilly plays an active role in advising internationally qualified lawyers on cross\u2011border mobility. She works extensively with Australian and New Zealand\u2011qualified associates relocating into and laterally within the London market, including moves involving magic circle, international and US law firms. She also supports lawyers considering return moves to Australia or New Zealand, as well as England and Wales\u2011qualified associates exploring opportunities in other international legal hubs where appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to moving into legal recruitment, Tilly practised as a lawyer in Australia, gaining experience across both boutique and major national law firms. This background gives her first\u2011hand insight into private practice and the practical considerations involved in international relocation, allowing her to advise associates with credibility, empathy and commercial awareness as they navigate complex cross\u2011border career decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":698,"featured_media":102406,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cn_metabox_post_checkbox_dont_send_once":false,"_cn_metabox_post_checkbox_dont_send_ever":false},"hd_person_role_type":[312],"hd_person_sector":[647],"hd_person_seniority":[290],"hd_person_specialism":[75],"hd_person_location":[87],"class_list":["post-97084","hd_person","type-hd_person","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","hd_person_role_type-permanent","hd_person_sector-law-firms","hd_person_seniority-recruitment-consultant","hd_person_specialism-law-firms","hd_person_location-uk"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hd_person\/97084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hd_person"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/hd_person"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/698"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"hd_person_role_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hd_person_role_type?post=97084"},{"taxonomy":"hd_person_sector","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hd_person_sector?post=97084"},{"taxonomy":"hd_person_seniority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hd_person_seniority?post=97084"},{"taxonomy":"hd_person_specialism","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hd_person_specialism?post=97084"},{"taxonomy":"hd_person_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srgroup.highrise.digital\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hd_person_location?post=97084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
